They tried to promulgate their beliefs by taking over territories and imposing their religion on the people by force of law (England being the classic example of that).<br /><br />They did get into evangelism a few centuries later, with Whitefield and Spurgeon and Jonathan Edwards (all Calvinists).<br /><br />In recent times, ironically, it has flipped, with Protestants dominating missionary attempts (The two Great Awakenings, Moody, Billy Graham et al), so we need to get back to that emphasis, too.Dave Armstronghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07771661758539438173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422857.post-91368322083349145662011-11-07T01:46:34.048-05:002011-11-07T01:46:34.048-05:00Hi Dave.
I dont know if u ever heard of Vittorio M...Hi Dave.<br />I dont know if u ever heard of Vittorio Messori ? He is a very well known Italian writer and journalist.<br />Anyway,i was reading one of his books lately , it`s called (Emporio cattolico)and i read something very frustrating but very interesting and important too .<br />He mentioned that after the so called reformation , if anyone wonders,how come , the protestants didnt go to preach the good news around the world ?Now the protestants of course would try to justify themselves by saying that they didnt have access to the sea.But Vittorio said that this isnt true,because after the destruction of the invinsible armada(Spanish fleet) only the British and the Dutch had complete control over the sea`s .<br />Why am i telling you these things ?well,because both the British and the Dutch were Calvinist , and because of their teaching abd beliefs concerning predestination , they did not allow anyone to preach the good news,and they believed that they were better than the others.And they also believed that those which were not christians,were chosen by God as vessels of damnation...That`s why for more than two centuries,only a few so called pastors did evangelise,and that was even illegal.<br />Now everyone of course can see the terrible results of Calvin`s teachings wherever the calvinists went . (North America ) a good indian was a dead Indian . Australia with the Aborigens , South Africa with Apertheid , India,China with opium and so on.<br />How come no one speaks about these things?They only want to falsify history and keep talking about the crusades,the inquisition (in an exagerated and false way) of course,just to attack the Catholic Church.But they never mention their own terrible impact on the world,and the terrible disasters which they have caused because of their teachings.<br />GBU and i really hope to have a reply from you (even a short one ) about these things .Marounhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17891800446559973689noreply@blogger.com
